tui objet - think|MIREI
about
This object was created through a collaboration between MIREI, an illustrator based in Naha, Okinawa and Ikutoen, a pottery manufacturer with a history of about 300 years in Tsuboya, Naha. The motif bird is "tui" that gathers in the "peaceful garden" series drawn by MIREI. Each piece is hand-crafted by the artisans at Ikutoen. In addition to think, we also carry three other types: heart and think.
